I'd love to use open office, but, sadly, it seems open office has no

outlook does. So that I can install it on my work pc and run it and it
finds all my e-mails and folders and everything contained on the
exchange server, automatically incorporates the settings needed based on
my domain login.
I know, I know. There are a lot of programmers and expert users out
there who think outlook is a total piece of crap and no one in the right
mind should ever use it. In my opinion this is ignoring the reality of
the situation. Every company I've ever worked for since 1998 uses
outlook.
And you will find that until recently, Outlook was not included in the
standard MS Office package, but only in the more expensive 'MS Office
Professional' package. I've not checked recently, but I suspect that
this is still the case.
People want an Office replacement, not a work around. I don't
see the value of using open office if I can't have all the pieces of the
office suite work together INCLUDING the e-mail client.
Then vote with your $$ and *buy* a package that suits your needs.

To NoOp, You sure said that straight and to the point! What I cannot
understand is why anyone would use Outlook, when between OOo and the
mozilla family of software, you have the same functionality without
being a hacker's delight!? :-)
